How To Choose a Mattress

Hello, I’m Glenda from Interior Concepts by Shane.  Today I want to share with you how to choose a mattress for your comfort.  Usually, you want to try at least 3 mattresses to get the right fit.  To retain a healthy life, there are three factors you need to have in place. 

1.  A healthy diet

2.   Exercise

3.    A good night’s sleep.

When selecting a mattress, it’s important to know what materials are inside that will give you a comfortable night sleep.  Also, by trying out three mattresses you can determine the comfort level that will accommodate your body. The comfort levels are soft, medium, firm, and extra firm.  However, there are several brands to choose from. You can choose memory foam, a Tempurpedic mattress or a Hybrid mattress which contains memory foam and springs. There’s usually an information pad attached to the mattress of your choice that will list the size, the material inside and the price.  The mattress may contain Memory foam, Tempur foam, IntelliCoil, Inner springs, Air vents, and cooling fabric such as Tencel depending on the brand.  Don’t forget to ask for a pillow when trying out a mattress.  A pillow adds 20-30% comfort, and it helps with body alignment.  Lay on your back, side, and stomach just like you would at home and don’t be so quick to jump up.  Stay there for a few minutes so that you can determine the right comfort.  After you find the right fit enjoy your comfort for many years to come. 

Until next time,
